Two area hoops stars earn McDonald’s All American selections

The two basketball stars will represent Houston at the McDonald’s All American Games on March 30 at the United Center in Chicago. The girls’ game is at 5:30 p.m. on ESPNU and the boys’ is at 8 p.m on ESPN.

Fox, who is on the East Team, is one of the crown jewels of Kentucky’s 2016 class. The point guard is expected to make an immediate impact for head coach John Calipari next year.

The same could be said for 6-foot-9 Mulkey, who helped Cypress Woods to a Class 6A state championship last season. Mulkey will be in Oklahoma’s frontcourt next year. She’ll be on the East Team in Chicago.

The state of Texas had the most McDonald’s All Americans for both the girls (five) and boys (six).
